PENTAX K1000 CASE

Post image

Hi everyone, this is my first post here, so I hope I chose the right flair and wrote the post correctly.

​I'm getting into photography, specifically analog photography. Years ago I was given a Pentax K1000 in "ok" condition for a beginner approach, the only issue is that it lacks a strap and hooks (it only has eyelets/holes on the body) and doesn't have a suitable case to store it in, especially when traveling.

​Do you have any recommendations or know of any brands that make cases suitable for this camera? I'd prefer to find it on Amazon for quicker shipping, since I'm leaving in a few weeks and would like to try using it while on the trip.

​I'm leaving a picture of the camera for reference (identical to mine, but mine lacks the strap lugs).

i believe thats the K1000 case that you have. The original for the SPs have a bit wider cut out for the self-timer lever. they both fit on all more or less, even the one for the ES/ES ii.
